What’s in it
AI summary The state will give $10 million to the Department of Natural Resources to help improve county parks. Every county in Iowa will receive at least $50,000, with extra money given to counties based on how many people live there. Local governments must use these funds for park projects by June 2027, or the leftover money will go toward improving state parks instead.1
Read the official explanation
This bill appropriates $10 million to the department of natural resources (DNR) for FY 2023-2024 for the purpose of issuing grants to counties for the improvement of county parks. DNR shall issue a grant of $50,000 to each county and a grant from the remaining amount of the appropriation to each county based proportionally on the population of the county according to the 2020 federal decennial census. A county shall use moneys received pursuant to the bill to fund improvement projects at county parks within the county. A county has until June 30, 2027, to use moneys granted for this purpose. Moneys that fail to be used for the improvement of county parks in a timely manner shall be made available to DNR for the improvement of state parks. Moneys appropriated pursuant to the bill that remain unencumbered or unobligated shall not revert but shall remain available for expenditure for the purposes designated in the bill until the close of FY 2027-2028.
